I would love to see the stars so it looks like the red carpet is what I'll be trying to get a glimpse of. I'm hoping we can get a group together to do this and then go see the movie and maybe do some London sight seeing since this will be my first trip there. I will also be going to Paris for a few days and will most likely watch the movie there, too.
PM me for all the details or I can organize the night if you'd like.
Top idea by the way Viva Las London.
Be there 9 to 10 am and be prepared to get squeezed to the barriers from 1 pm on, WHEN you are first row -.but nothing else makes much sense IMO.
It was well worth it on all accounts. Great next day of sightseeing, too. Harrods is all dressed up in Bond, film theme on the streets included. Its save to say, London belongs to Bond in those days...its amazing...
Good luck :)
Still, anyone who is doing it, I wish you a good time.
Since then I've managed to attend early screenings of GoldenEye, Casino Royale and QoS. It's a shame that ITV don't produce the 1 hour specials of the Bond Premieres anymore. I seem to recall they started with TSWLM and ended with LTK.
P.S. Just had a thought. If members are planning to meet members how about you all wear some sort of dignifying decoration to tell each other apart. A really subtle thing that no one else would wear.
The question is: Are tickets made available to mere peasants like us nowadays? Or are they strictly reserved for so-called "celebrities"?
I went to the Goldeneye preview screening it was a fantastic event, then went to planet hollywood and had dinner alongside Eunice Gayson, Norman Wanstall and...Peter Franks. Will never forget that day. :-)
When I have met Bond celebrities it's been at an autograph signing and the Birmingham NEC movie memorabilia exhibition. Oh, and I chatted to Britt Ekland and her chiwawa on my street. LOL.
She looks a little different now does Ms. Gayson. ;)
I suspect I'll do the same if I can for SF... :)
Anyone here on the U.S. West Coast to attend the American premiere on November 9th?
I will be at Baltimore where the broccolis hold it.
Wow, didn't know about this until you mentioned it. Thanks! Hopefully I will have already moved to Washington DC by then so I can attend. :)

Yep message me if you remember! My friend gets the tickets- im not sure through where- but i'm sure i can find out. They were 100$ for QoS. None of the stars were there :\ but it was fun- they had the aston martin out front.
I was however in the crowds for The Dark Knight and The Expendables. From my (limited) experiences you need to turn up as early as you can so allow allow a whole day off if you want to get a good view (particularly for something as popular as Bond).
for the last two, I think it was 2 days before the general UK release.
I've been at the front of the barriers for the past two Bond premieres. Its a terrific atmosphere, with fans (some even dressed in Bond costumes) all relaying their favourite moments of the series to eachother. Occasionally, members of the world press will come up and interview you about your favourite Bond actor and thoughts on the current film etc. Last year, Japanese television quizzed me on my Bond knowledge (I would have loved to have seen me being dubbed in Japanese!) There's a great buzz in the air despite the temperature of it! Waiting around is not for everyone but I've always found time goes quickly, especially when you're alongside fellow fans and giant screens showing Bond clips, trailers and interviews, along with music from a band.
Leicester Square is currently undergoing major renovations ahead of being presentable for the 2012 Olympics. The new park design may alter the original premiere layout slightly, but we should know more in the summer when its completed.
